US President Donald Trump received his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Washington on September 23, in what was the latter's first visit to the White House in ten years.
It was, however, their third meeting in the space of a single year — a sign of the intensifying direct contacts between the two powers despite persistent tensions between Washington and Beijing.
According to observers, the meeting, marked by carefully choreographed diplomatic ceremony, produced little in the way of concrete results, with no major announcement likely to fundamentally alter the bilateral relationship.
The question of whether China and the United States should be viewed as strategic rivals or economic partners remains central to discussions among analysts, who point to the complexity of a relationship defined both by deep economic interdependence and growing geopolitical competition.
Neither delegation announced a specific timetable for a future meeting between the two leaders.
